The real reason behind Kanye West's breakdown is so sad

Since Kanye West was hospitalised on 22nd November, and sent for a psychiatric evaluation, the world's been wondering what could have triggered his breakdown.

As well as being taken away in an ambulance "for his own health and safety", Kanye has also cancelled the rest of his Saint Pablo tour. So what really happened to the 39 year old?

The rapper has spoken a number of times about the guilt he feels over the death of his mother, Donda, on 10th November 2007.

"If I had never moved to LA she'd be alive,' he said last year. "I don't want to go far into it because it will bring me to tears."

And now the plastic surgeon who operated on Donda before she died says it's no coincidence Kanye's breakdown came around the anniversary of Donda's death.

Dr. Jan Adams – who was wrongfully accused of Donda's death at the time – told DailyMail.com: "If nine years later Kanye can't deal with it and wants to blame himself, then someone needs to stand up and say to him, 'Come on, this is not your fault, dude. We need to turn the page. We can feel sad and we can miss her, but it doesn't happen until you confront the truth.'"

The doctor's comments come as a family member of Kanye's reveals that he is always "highly sensitive" at this time of year.

The relative, who asked not to be named, said: "Any time around the holidays is tough for him, he is an only child. But he was very close to his mom, so this time of year... it's really difficult.

"Then on top of it, everything that happened with Kim in Paris, the build up to it is a lot, it's a lot of pressure.

"Kanye is highly sensitive and highly protective of certain things which doesn't help. But people are so used to seeing him as a performer or as an icon, they don't see him as a normal person.

"And really he is just like we all are, broken and lost and hurt, we all are made of different fragments as human beings.

"With too much pressure it bursts and right now with everything hurting for him Kanye has burst."

As well as the anniversary of his mother's death, The Sun is suggesting that the recent distancing of him and Jay Z may have contributed to Kanye's breakdown, and Beyonce is keen for him to reconnect with his friend.

A source says that Beyonce "is urging Jay to let bygones be bygones, and Jay is coming round to the idea and fast as he sees Kanye is in trouble.

"No matter what has happened between them, Kanye has always been Jay's little bro and Jay has always called him his "familia"', the source added.
